Fashion Video Wheels & Doll Baby Versus Ellen Von Unwerth = Pin-Up Perfection!

February 2, 2012 - 10:28 am

It’s a rare occasion that two of your favourites come together so wonderfully — & when it happens, it’s worth celebrating.

Wheels & Doll Baby was founded in Perth, Australia, in 1987. The label, with its quirky yet upscale retro vibe, quickly became a celebrity favourite, being seen on the backs (& fronts!) of the likes of Dita Von Teese, Christina Aguilera, Kylie Minogue & Elle Macpherson. It’s utterly unlike anything else in Australia — or, for that matter, the rest of the world. Wheels & Doll Baby do sex-kitten vintage like no other.

So it makes perfect sense, then, that the illustrious label teamed up with famed fashion photographer, Ellen Von Unwerth, on their latest campaign. Von Unwerth started as a model, working the other side of the lens for 10 years before making the switch. Her provocative photographs celebrate the power & mystery of femininity, as well as the potential of the perfect pout!

Cast your eyeballs over the video & pictures below if you don’t believe me! I absolutely love this collaboration: it makes me want to wear red lipstick every day for the rest of my life!

Music Not Myself: Christina Aguilera vs. Lady Gaga

May 28, 2010 - 1:26 pm

Lady Gaga and Christina Aguilera

Oh I see you ladies. You can’t fool the fools. I know that when Madonna wasn’t shaving her armpits you both where in the ether, but seriously, the argument “who did it first”, well that’s just drool.

Madonna

Madonna did it all. She wore the pointed metal bra, she dyed her hair a thousand shades, she did the sex thing, did the lace thing, did the dance thing, the jesus thing, the baby thing, the ambitious thing, the girl on girl thing, COME ON…I can keep going all day here! She did it all and she re-invented herself over and over. She was one of the first mainstream performers who got our attention by continuing to change, shock, push the envelope. She’s not dead you know? And neither are all the people who exist in the world who were bored with it the first time.
